Private Giza Pyramids, Sphinx & Grand Egyptian Museum

Stand before the last surviving Wonder of the Ancient World, descend into a pyramid chamber, and marvel at Tutankhamun's golden treasures inside the brand-new Grand Egyptian Museum — all on a fully private, chauffeured day from Port Said.

What to expect

Your private guide and driver collect you dockside at Port Said for the roughly 3-hour scenic transfer to Giza. At the plateau you'll enter a pyramid chamber, ride past the Valley Temple and lock eyes with the Great Sphinx at close range before crowds thicken. The afternoon is spent in the Grand Egyptian Museum — the world's largest archaeological museum — where over 5,000 Tutankhamun artefacts, including the intact golden death mask, are displayed in their full glory for the first time. The return drive offers a sunset over the Canal Zone.

Good to know

Arrange an early 06:00 departure to beat summer heat and crowds at Giza. The round-trip is approximately 6–7 hours driving; factor in a full 12–14-hour day. Confirm your all-aboard time with the ship and share it with your operator so the return is built into your itinerary. Pre-book well in advance as private slots fill quickly.
